He likes flats for pedals before taking on clips, adjust tire to distance of rides (heavy/grippy often excessive), if rear shock pay attention to rebound settings – adjust for weight (shop), shorter stem for downhill, longer stem favors uphill, can run front tire softer than rear, spacers can adjust bar height – high easier downhill, lower more control on turn, start seat flat, adjust seat nose down for XC rider, seat nose up slightly for downhill.

Keep clip back on shoe, shoe rubber should not touch pedal, favors earlier release, favor cleat towards inside of show, set angle inline with shoe length initially. Check cleat bolts every few weeks (you can get stuck if bolts get loose). Cross country shoes are stiffer and have small platform, race/technical have platform with softer shoe, partly engage with bolts (more for us).
